Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The disadvantages of using a mist tent include poor access to the child, a cool and wet tent environment, oxygen levels fall when the tent is entered, and the child may not tolerate it around the crib or bed. Lower oxygen concentrations can be achieved in the tent and is an advantage.
